A New Beginning: Final Cut

A really interesting adventure about a real problem. Good puzzles and a decent storyline. Also, finally a long game that took me a few days to beat!

I played some adventure point'n'click games and this is one of best for me. Story about climat changing is interesting and puzzles are pretty logic. They are not about clicking everything everywhere and maybe something will work. Its obvious what add to other item.

deep, suspenseful and gripping characters with great voice acting. i have never played anything like it - it feels very actual and fitting. i had a wonderful time with it and can only recommend it to anyone who like the classic point-and-click adventures with a good storyline and nice puzzles. the music as well as the whole atmosphere is very good. too bad it only runs in 4:3 and has some minor bugs, so prepare yourself for some fiddling. it works fantastic in WINE, so mac users: go for it!

i am a newcomer to the gog world and to daedalic entertainment games in particular. but it's such a long time that i haven't enjoyed any games out there as much as i did the new beginning. i think that all reviewers agree that the backgrounds are astounding and very gently done. in the english version that i played, the dialogues are all done by professional voices and all the feeling in the right places. there were only a couple of slips - but really - they are nothing comparatively. i guess there were more bugs before, but i think they are almost all gone now. the story was very to my liking. even though it sounds unrealistic in some places, or the feats that the heroes do are a bit too "heroic" - come on, it's still a fantasy game and a fiction - but with many many projections to our own world and our own future - even our personal relationships. i even started to tell the story to my psychologist, who exclaimed in wonder that maybe the games nowadays went a long way forward. i really really enjoyed the story part - the way the characters interact and the way their backgrounds are touchingly shown - without much tiring conversation (the longest journey had a lot of such conversations imho and was the reason i didn't like that) - the conversation here is just enough to let you put the pieces together. i really enjoyed how many details of personal relationships we all feel in our own lives are touched upon. also the way the genre of the graphic novel blends with the gameplay (or rather, the video sequences) is quite clever and effective, in my opinion. the puzzles are quite logical - and again, i don't believe we should value puzzles on the scale of how realistic they are - but how clearly you can understand the object, and how logically, as opposed to pure chance, you can deduce the solution. i found most of the puzzles ok, but i sought the help of UHS in a couple of cases. (the space button is totally helpful) and last, but not the least - the twists in the story. there are many and good ones.

Well, even this game may not the best daedalic adventure, still carry a serious matter concerning our planet's future. Approx. seven billion people living, we're all seeing the all signs of warning of nature but no one care about it. However there's a man aware of the issue, but without any help decide to do nothing. His name Bent Svensson the one who responsible for apocalipse, even if his intensions are the opposite.
